maybe edward was better for bella. no for sure edward was better for bella!
but maybe edward is no good for me…
maybe i should run with werewolves…

True love was forever lost. The prince was never coming back to kiss me awake from my enchanted sleep. I was not a princess, after all. So what was the fairy-tale protocol for other kisses? The mundane kind that didn’t break any spells?

A Soldier's Take On Michael Jackson's Death
This is written by a young soldier serving his third tour of duty in Iraq . Thought you might find his take on the Michael Jackson news interesting and he’s right.
Okay, I need to rant.
I was just watching the news, and I caught part of a report on Michael Jackson. As we all know, Jackson died the other day. He was an entertainer who performed for decades. He made millions, he spent millions, and he did a lot of things that make him a villain to many people. I understand that his death would affect a lot of people, and I respect those people who mourn his death, but that isn’t the point of my rant.
Why is it that when ONE man dies, the whole of America loses their minds with grief? When a man dies whose only contribution to the country was to ENTERTAIN people, the American people find the need to flock to a memorial in Hollywood , and even Congress sees the need to hold a “moment of silence” for his passing?
Am I missing something here? ONE man dies, and all of a sudden he’s a freaking martyr because he entertained us for a few decades? What about all those SOLDIERS who have died to give us freedom? All those Soldiers who, knowing that they would be asked to fight in a war, still raised their hands and swore to defend the Constitution and the United States of America . Where is their moment of silence? Where are the people flocking to their graves or memorials and mourning over them because they made the ultimate sacrifice? Why is it when a Soldier dies, there are more people saying “good riddance,” and “thank God for IEDs?” When did this country become so calloused to the sacrifice of GOOD MEN and WOMEN that they can arbitrarily blow off their deaths, and instead, throw themselves into mourning for a “Pop Icon?”
I think that if they are going to hold a moment of silence IN CONGRESS for Michael Jackson, they need to hold a moment of silence for every service member killed in Iraq and Afghanistan . They need to PUBLICLY recognize every life that has been lost so that the American people can live their callous little lives in the luxury and freedom that WE, those that are living and those that have gone on, have provided for them. But, wait, that would take too much time, because there have been so many willing to make that sacrifice. After all, we will never make millions of dollars. We will never star in movies, or write hit songs that the world will listen too. We only shed our blood, sweat and tears so that people can enjoy what they have.
Sorry if I have offended, but I needed to say it. Remember these five words the next time you think of someone who is serving in the military;
“So that others may live…”

Once upon a time, I was in love with a boy. I loved him a long time. I hurt other people because all I cared about anymore was him. I didn’t think about anything else. I was in a daze that lasted almost a year. Nothing and nobody made me happy except him. My heart belonged to him. He was everything I wanted, and everything I had ever dreamed of. He meant the world to me. I would walk through fire and back for him, I would do anything. But this “once upon a time” isn’t the typical kind. I don’t end up with the boy who is all I want. This “once upon a time” is a different kind. This time, I have many people who love me, and who tell me not to love him. And finally someone gave a reason and not just an empty command that I would do anything to ignore. So in this story, the girl gets away first. Sure I have a broken heart, and it will be broken for a while. I have hope and know that someday someone with come and fix me and put me all back together. I know that I won’t have ruined my whole life. I know someday I will be happy and my “once upon a time” with eventually become a “happily ever after.”
